Frances C. Bradshaw said that while growing up in Efland, “we didn’t have a lot, but we had faith.”

Bradshaw owns and operates a child development center, F.A.C.B. (which stands for her initials) in Mebane and works with young people at her church, McCoy’s Temple United Holy Church in Efland. She began to notice that teaching children about faith could be challenging at times.

So, she thought about it and prayed about it and the result is a colorful, easy-to-read, large-print book for both children and adults titled “F-A-I-T-H: Do You Have It?” It was written by Bradshaw and illustrated by Kathy Kerber.

When Bradshaw has dealt with difficult times, it is her faih in God that has helped her through.

“I find the more I trust Him, the better I feel and I have more peace during my trials,” Bradshaw said.

In 1999, Bradshaw took a leap of faith and started her own child development center. It was an uncertain time, but with God guiding her, she kept the faith.

“Sometimes, we have to check ourselves and realize who is really in charge,” she said.
